Forecasts

Mr Raj (5/2), Tiger Nation (11/4), Southern Artist (10/3), Seyouff (9/2), Ghazzwaan (5/1), Lahresh (17/2), Athan (22/1), Morning (22/1)

MR RAJ has the best form on offer and can make a winning return to action. The unexposed pair Seyouff and Southern Artist could provide the main dangers in an interesting race.
